Poetic Affirmations From Erykah Badu, In Illustrated Form

Eccentric soul siren Erykah Badu anonymously busked for money in Times Square last week. "If you've got some initiative, you can make money," Badu said after the experience. "All you have to do is have some initiative, and a little talent."

Spoiler alert: she earned a whopping $3.60. Not very reassuring.

We're assuming Miss Badu won't need to rely on busking since she was recently named the new face of Givenchy.
